Viewing and printing a big PDF

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If this isn't really an FC5 problem and should be addressed elsewhere,
please point the way.

I'm trying to double-side print a 339-page PDF on a new HP LaserJet
2430dtn. The document's properties include:
        Creator:	Acrobat PDFMaker 7.0 for Word
        Producer:	Acrobat Distiller 7.0 (Windows)
        Security:	No
        Format:		PDF-1.4
        Optimized:	Yes

FC5's stock PDF viewers have a variety of troubles with this document:
        Document Viewer (Evince)	Long load time
        KGhostView			Extreme load time ending in failure
        KPDF				Quick load, but can't read CUPS'
        				printer duplexer setting (a CUPS or
        				KPDF problem?)
        Xpdf				No access to printer options at all
I downloaded and installed the Adobe Reader v7.0.5 RPM from their web
site. It overcomes all of the stock PDF viewers' problems, but the
printout is bizarre. The image of each succeeding printed page is
smaller than its predecessor. Like a series of perspective drawings, by
the 15th double-sided page the page images have shrink to a microscopic
dot. A few more blank pages and the job ends -- long before page 339.

CUPS is configured to use FC5's LaserJet 2430 Postscript driver on a
JetDirect port. Its print queue Driver options are nothing special:
        Send Form-Feed (FF)             [ ]
        Send End-of-Transmission (EOT)  [ ]
        Assume Unknown Data is Text     [ ]
        Prerender Postscript            [ ]
        Convert Text to Postscript      [X]
        Effective Filter Locale         [C                    ]
        Double-Sided Printing           [Long Edge (Standard) ]
        GhostScript pre-filtering       [No pre-filtering     ]
        Resolution                      [Printer Default      ]
        Media Source                    [US Letter            ]
The queue options are also routine:
        Banner pages
                At start of job	[None      ]
                At end of job	[None      ]
        Imageable Area
                Top margin (pt)	 [18  ]	   Right margin (pt)  [18  ]
                Left margin (pt) [18  ]	   Bottom margin (pt) [18  ]
        Filter options
                cpi		12
                lpi		7
                page-bottom	86
                page-left	57
                page-right	57
                page-top	72
                scaling		100
                scp-fc5		true
                wrap		true

Has anyone else seen similar shrinking printout behavior. Is this an
Adobe problem or a CUPS problem? I'm guessing CUPS.
